With the new Watchmen comics coming out, how hard would it have been to take a standard DC Universe buck and produce a Dr. Manhattan figure, maybe even with translucent variant, to kick off a new Watchmen line? They made a Swamp Thing almost right away, absurdly out of scale as he was, but a Dr. Manhattan figure would take almost 0% new tooling. Come on. Who the heck is Death, and why does she look like an anime DC Direct figure? Such a fail.

Very disappointed. First DCUC at retail gets cancelled. Then DC All-Stars gets cancelled before it's even out of the gate. Now no SDCC DCUC exclusive? I was really hoping for a good DCUC exclusive this year. I'm glad I bought a sub to be able to at least get a few more figures for my collection. I hope the new "compatible" retail line next year is a 4H sculpted, 6" DCUC line with a new name. If not, then I'm out.

I'm not terribly excited about these reveals either. I'm up for the MOTUC character (still don't think this means "jumping the shark") since he fits in the lore nicely. Definitely getting Dana, likely the last GB figure, and maaaaaybe the Tiny Titans one. If Death is not in scale with DCUC, I'm definitely skipping her. I wish there was a more interesting DC figure in the mix. Granny Goodness would have been nice.

Wow that Tiny Titans set does a fantastic job of translating a very 2-D style into 3-D. It's very well done! Also cool to see something that is really strictly a toy adaption from a comic. I'm not sure Mattel has ever done something so style/artist specific based on comics.
